Veggie Toolkit Beta Testers Wanted
 

I am making available some of the Vegas script tools that I have written over the past year or so. I have tested them on my machine, but I would like to get some other Vegas users to try them out. The tools in the toolkit are:

CaptureCutter - a workflow enhancement tool to speed up capturing video tapes and reduce wear and tear on the tapes. Can also be used to render multiple regions or in/out markers of your project to individual files.

TimeBandit - a effects tool to speed up or slow down multiple events beyond the limits of Vegas's built in support. It can slice video into a sequence of single frames to get extreme speedup effects.

MultiRender - yet another rendering tool to automate the rendering of multiple jobs from multiple projects. I originally wrote this before Vegas 5.0's network rendering came out.

For more information and to get the beta, go to:

Thanks,

Looks good. I'll download it when I get home tonight. Thanks!

Vegas 5 timeline question
 

I just recieved my V5 production bundle upgrade. I have a dual monitor set-up, question, Is there any way to expand the timeline across both monitors? If so how? I have been able to move everything else around except that. Also I recieved the magic bullet plug in as well as the lite version of boris. The boris works, but when I try to install the magic bullet plug in, it errors out. It then shows up in the start up menu, but the only option that it will allow is to uninstall it. Anyone else had this issue?

For Magic Bullet, I believe you have to download an updated installation program.

For dual monitors, you should be able to simply expand Vegas over both screens.

Are there certain keys that I have to use to do it? I try to drag it over, but it just won't go. The magic bullet thing makes sense though, my system is not connected to online service. Also, do you know the link for that software update? Since it came with the bundle, I am not sure if Red Giant would offer it or not.

When you get the fonts, do you just import them into vegas? Also, if you do, do they stay in there? (like when you select insert text)

Most dumb and basic question you've ever heard
 

How do I remove (delete) a section of video/audio from the center of my clip? I'm deleting this question if I can after I find the answer because it's so bad. I just can't figure it out...

Are the dual monitors set up side by side or vertically in windows display options? You may need to drag the window down instead of accross.

Definitely check the settings on your graphics card and make sure it is set for side by side monitors instead of the same signal going to both monitors or, as Jason mentioned, top & bottom.

I believe the update IS on Red Giant's website but I do not have the link.

Create a region around the section you want to delete (click and drag). Now you can just press the delete key and that area should be removed. If you have ripple turned on, the area will also be closed (clips to the right will move left to fill the hole.

From the trimmer or the main window at the top?

No. You add them to WINDOWS. Open the Control Panel, go to Fonts, and add the new fonts there. Vegas will automatically see them.

Ok.. when i click and drag the entire clipped moved right. I held shift down and drug out a section and deleted it. Thanks! now just have to turn ripple on. This is progress!

Click ABOVE the timeline and drag. This will create a selected area highlighted in blue. Then pressing delete will delete that entire area.

From the TIMELINE.

got it. which I suppose should just remove it when i render it to a new file. I was looking for a right click option to delete. Never though of the delete key... thanks for putting up with the ignorance.

I downloaded a whole bunch a once, and wanted to do a mass install, as well. I had to take an extra step, just for anyone out there who's never done this before. First I had to extract each zipped folder (each font is downloaded as a zip file) to a directory, and then, I had to go to THAT directory, and move the font file itself out of its folder (yes, even though it was extracted, there was still the same file/folder structure in the new directory. Hmmm), and into the raw directory itself, and do this for each font, and then I could install them all at once. I hope that makes sense to someone.

You can also split the track with the S key in two places. Highlight
the middle piece and hit the delete key. I think you can also
right-click and choose cut perhaps? (not infront Vegas at the moment)

Yes, there are MANY ways this can be accomplished. I tried to give the shortest number of steps to accomplish the task. However, when I really do it, I DO normally press "S" to split out that area before deleting it.

I just checked and there is a right-click option for cut. However, there also IS a right-click option for Delete as well.

That's the exact reason I added it as well Edward, I also always
use split first <g> How funny!

Thanks all, problem solved! Will know soon on the plug-in issue. I e-mailed red giant and sony.
